Music: All Good Things (Come To An End)

This is one of the most beautiful songs that I have heard. I really like this song and can't get it out of my head. Nelly Furtado is absolutely gorgeous in this video! I want a girl like that. :)








Honestly what will become of me
don't like reality
It's way too clear to me
But really life is dandy
We are what we don't see
Missed everything daydreaming

[Chorus:]
Flames to dust
Lovers to friends
Why do all good things come to an end
Flames to dust
Lovers to friends
Why do all good things come to an end
come to an end come to an
Why do all good things come to end?
come to an end come to an
Why do all good things come to an end?

Traveling I only stop at exits
Wondering if I'll stay
Young and restless
Living this way I stress less
I want to pull away when the dream dies
The pain sets it and I don't cry
I only feel gravity and I wonder why

Flames to dust
Lovers to friends
Why do all good things come to an end
Flames to dust
Lovers to friends
Why do all good things come to an end
come to an end come to an
Why do all good things come to end?
come to an end come to an
Why do all good things come to an end?

Well the dogs were whistling a new tune
Barking at the new moon
Hoping it would come soon so that they could
Dogs were whistling a new tune
Barking at the new moon
Hoping it would come soon so that they could
Die die die die die

Flames to dust
Lovers to friends
Why do all good things come to an end
Flames to dust
Lovers to friends
Why do all good things come to an end
come to an end come to an
Why do all good things come to end?
come to an end come to an
Why do all good things come to an end?

Well the dogs were barking at a new moon
Whistling a new tune
Hoping it would come soon
And the sun was wondering if it should stay away for a day 'til the feeling went away
And the sky was falling on the clouds were dropping and
the rain forgot how to bring salvation
the dogs were barking at the new moon
Whistling a new tune
Hoping it would come soon so that they could die.

Music: OneRepublic Stop and Stare

I've been listening to a lot of OneRepublic lately. Here's another one of their songs that I really like:


This town is colder now, I think it's sick of us
It's time to make our move, I'm shakin off the rust
I've got my heart set on anywhere but here
I'm staring down myself, counting up the years
Steady hands, just take the wheel...
And every glance is killing me
Time to make one last appeal... for the life I lead

Stop and stare
I think I'm moving but I go nowhere
Yeah I know that everyone gets scared
But I've become what I can't be, oh
Stop and stare
You start to wonder why you're 'here' not there
And you'd give anything to get what's fair
But fair ain't what you really need
Oh, can u see what I see

They're tryin to come back, all my senses push
Un-tie the weight bags, I never thought I could...
Steady feet, don't fail me now
Gonna run till you can't walk
But something pulls my focus out
And I'm standing down...

Stop and stare
I think I'm moving but I go nowhere
Yeah I know that everyone gets scared
But I've become what I can't be, oh
Stop and stare
You start to wonder why you're here not there
And you'd give anything to get what's fair
But fair ain't what you really need
Oh, you don't need

What u need, what u need...

Stop and stare
I think I'm moving but I go nowhere
Yeah I know that everyone gets scared
But I've become what I can't be
Oh, do u see what I see...

Music: OneRepublic Apologize

I've been listening to this song over and over again. It took me a while to realize that he's singing about the pain and sadness someone goes through after trying to hang himself. It's beautifully written and a top 20 hit. Who would have ever known this song was about a suicide attempt? It sounds like a break up song and perhaps you could interpret it as a suicide attempt after a breakup. But what I don't get about the video is why are they showing a New Year's Eve party?



I'm holding on your rope,
Got me ten feet off the ground
I'm hearin' what you say but I just can't make a sound.
You tell me that you need me
Then you go and cut me down, but wait
You tell me that you're sorry
Didn't think I'd turn around, and say...

That it's too late to 'pologize, it's too late
I said it's too late to 'pologize, it's too late

I'd take another chance, take a fall
Take a shot for you.
I need you like a heart needs a beat
But it's nothin' new (yeeaah)
I loved you with a fire-red
Now it's turning blue, and you say...
"Sorry" like the angel heaven let me think was you
But I'm afraid...

It's too late to 'pologize, it's too late
I said it's too late to 'pologize, it's too late
Whhooooooaaa.....

Bridge (guitar/piano)

It's too late to 'pologize, it's too late
I said it's too late to 'pologize, it's too late
It's too late to 'pologize, yeah
I said it's too late to 'pologize, yeah
I'm holdin on your rope, got me ten feet off the ground
